my weekend...

...has been a lot of fun! One of my favourite things to do when at home, whether sewing, cleaning or hanging out with my kids, is to listen to music. And I love the radio as it means I don't have to constantly make decisions about what to listen to next, and I get to hear new music or old classics I'd forgotten about.

I think the radio programme I listen to most of all is the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 Music - I love upbeat music that gives me energy and makes me want to dance. But although I dance around the house while I do the housework, and have regular dining room discos with my kids, it has been years since I went out and really danced.

Well last night that changed....the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club, an occasional live DJ set by the man himself along with lots of other excellent DJs, came to Bristol. And I went out, with my dancing shoes on (flats, of course!) and my nails painted, and I danced my ass off. It was brilliant to realise that after 2 kids, and years of domestication, my wild child is still alive and kicking inside me. And when he played my all time favourite funk tune, I nearly exploded...

I will be doing it again sometime soon!I hope you had a great weekend too. Rachel xx

I love Craig Charles! Partly cos I love hid music and also cos he looks a bit like my hubby lol. Have you thought about taking your boys to a festival? It is such a laugh and you can dance your socks off with them. CC is playing camp Bestival this summer :) we saw him at big chill with my daughter, when he first started DJing and it was fantastic. All the mommas and the kids wiggling their bootys lol
